Just watch it, be warned it’s some seriously grim poo. Out of the the ventilator patients 70-86% mortality rate.

I don't like it when people talk about the US in terms of our "hospital system" as if we are a smaller country and its all related and co-mingled.  However, even though the hospital overburden will be felt mainly in pockets...its still a scary reality in those areas.  And even when its not a complete overburden of cases, it still strains the system and hurts results.  I think I heard one doctor say something to the effect of "if I can realistically give quality care to up to 20 patients a day, what do you think happens when I'm suddenly seeing 30, 40, 50 patients a day?  Everybody's quality of care they receive depreciates, even the initial 20 I was able to take good care of."

I really liked his point about this being a +1 virus, meaning most other things will remain the same.  Hell, I just had a car accident last week.  It wasn't a bad one in terms of bodily injury, but people don't stop needing medical care just because Rona is in town.

Regardless how you feel about CNN, Chris Cuomo has been diagnosed with Covid-19. This disease is unbelievable, we have not faced a problem like this since, the early 1900’s. I think we will be fighting this for the next 4 months, then battle it again in the fall.

The 100-125 year problems are coming around again. Pretty soon there will be a dust bowl in the south again. 100 year floods are due too.

Maybe, in varying degrees.  

By the fall, I am hopeful that we will be better prepared to stem the outbreak with better testing, tracing and treatments. Fauci said as much on Sunday.

Virginia governor just issued a stay at home order in effect until June 12. 
 

Also found out that our federal government sent China 18 tons of medical supplies in February when they should have been preparing for an outbreak... really pisses me the F off.

That is a morale killer for sure. June 12th.

..... would you rather a morale killer or being dead?

That’s a false dichotomy.
 

I believe that by June 12th there will be different rules for how we deal with this threat. It’s reasonable to ask everyone to stay home for a month or 6 weeks.  After we get more data and have ramped up the ability to treat the virus I don’t expect it will be reasonable to have everyone under orders to stay home in June.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
